ImageDev

SelectiveErosion3d

Erodes objects of a three-dimensional binary image conditionally to a local constraint.

Access to parameter description

For an introduction: This algorithm can be applied only on binary images. It is performed iteratively and at each step a foreground voxel is transformed into a background voxel if the number of background voxels in its 26-neighborhood is greater than or equal to a specified threshold.
Using a threshold of 1 amounts to applying a standard morphological erosion.

This operator is smoother than a standard erosion, and softens the appearance of the structuring element in the filtered image.
